Answer 1

If we look at the ancient Sumerian societies, we can determine exactly the social and physical world that led to the necessary production of laws. The first cities in the ancient Sumerian world, including Ur, were based on the recent invention of cultivated grains. People stopped having to forage and hunt. It became necessary to maintain one residence to watch and care for the harvest. With each harvest, came excess production. This attribute of the physical world created the need for commerce and built the wealth necessary for large scale urban development. The second wave of large cities in the ancient Sumerian world, including Sumer, saw the second phase of organic development of laws. These cities became so large that social laws, also known as customs, were needed to allow people to live together en masse.
